Psalms 36

1 The sin of the evil-doer says in his heart, There is no fear of the Lord before his eyes.

1The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.

1The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

2For he takes comfort in the thought that his sin will not be uncovered and hated.

2For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, That his iniquity will not be found out and be hated.

2For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.

3In the words of his mouth are evil and deceit; he has given up being wise and doing good.

3The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: He hath ceased to be wise and to do good.

3The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.

4He gives thought to evil on his bed; he takes a way which is not good; he is not a hater of evil.

4He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; He setteth himself in a way that is not good; He abhorreth not evil.

4He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

5Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens, and your strong purpose is as high as the clouds.

5Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.

5Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

6Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judging is like the great deep; O Lord, you give life to man and beast.

6Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; Thy judgments are a great deep: O Jehovah, thou preservest man and beast.

6Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O Lord, thou preservest man and beast.

7How good is your loving mercy, O God! the children of men take cover under the shade of your wings.

7How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

7How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

8The delights of your house will be showered on them; you will give them drink from the river of your pleasures.

8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; And thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

9For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we will see light.

9For with thee is the fountain of life: In thy light shall we see light.

9For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

10O let there be no end to your loving mercy to those who have knowledge of you, or of your righteousness to the upright in heart.

10Oh continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee, And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

10O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

11Let not the foot of pride come against me, or the hand of the evil-doers put me out of my place.

11Let not the foot of pride come against me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

11Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.

12There the workers of evil have come down: they have been made low, and will not be lifted up.

12There are the workers of iniquity fallen: They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.

12There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
